Certainly running on election integrity without being able to admit publicly that Trump won is a nonstarter. That still doesn’t explain why his downfall has been this precipitous.
There are no unexpected natural disaster emergencies in Florida. The last one was the sixth hurricane and 21st tropical storm just on RDS'S watch. Knowing what to do is a minimum expectation of the governor of Florida.
Everything about RDS has been a rewrite or an exaggeration.
Remember the horrible handling of all of the hurricanes in Florida was governed By Rick Scott. Only surpassed by the way !Jeb handled them for 8 years prior....what were the names of the natural disasters again? Oh...that’s wrong, they did fine? Shocking, what aren’t they both in the white house?
Funny how all the candidates EXCEPT Trump seems to flounder around, swapping places...but always well behind Trump.
The Democrats played him and the GOPE masterfully.
I’m actually glad he didn’t wait until 2028. While it’s not possible to predict the future, there might be less scrutiny of DeSantis if he waited until 2028 and was the defacto front runner. This year he’s been exposed and we know he’ll do anything bid donors will say. He’s firmly in the Bush side of the party. I don’t forgive that. He’ll never get my vote. I really don’t want to vote for anyone that has spent his entire life as a government employee.
He was a Dem.
And the Pine Island Bridge rebuilt itself in three days. DeSantis didn't make that happen, Government built that bridge.

If he is it is more likely to be Nikki Haley than Ron DeSantis. It’s a false premise to assume it’s Trump or DeSantis. Party Bosses are much more likely to back her and the MAGA base don’t remember her as a pure Trump basher. As thar is true even Tim Scott would be better than both of them. MAGA by and large isn’t anti Scott, He hasn’t really turned on Trump(certainly not too overtly) and the party Bosses see him as one of them. Desanctimonius has made sure that MAGA isn’t on board with him and the party Bosses only like him now because they think he can peel away some of the MAGA vote.
No one is afraid of Ronny --- he's an unlikable ankle-biter.
But heck, let's normalize the accomplishments of all Florida governors to be the same-old same-old... just to diminish the reputation of one of them.

If Trump is “taken out” then America is already over. A free America wouldn’t prevent Trump from running and they wouldn’t have him assassinated. The Repuke who runs an election under this scenario is scum and should be treated as such.
There’s nothing extraordinary about knowing how to handle a cleanup after a hurricane; not in the state of Florida.
But, maybe you should recommend Ron for President Trump’s first Hurricane Czar.
One reason only:
He “hooked up” with the Uniparty funding machine
I would have agreed with you on this if it was earlier in the year. I think DeSantis has hurt himself, perhaps beyond redemption, by the McRomBush support he has associated himself with - as many have pointed out. People trust him less now than they did before. I wonder now if we will have a candidate that has any chance of winning if Trump is arrested and locked up. I always thought Kerri Lake has the fire that Trump seems to have but she does not have his kind of support or name recognition (and she’s running for Senate). I think you and I know there’s no political solution for our country. There may have been a spiritual one at some point in the past but I think we are beyond that now and under God’s judgement. I don’t see a turn around.

Are you suggesting DeSantis not being a meth addict is extraordinary?
